[...] DNA Clears Dallas Man In 27-Year-Old Rape Case A man who has served 27 years in prison for aggravated sexual assault is due to become the latest person exonerated through DNA testing in Dallas County. Johnny Pinchback, 55, has been cleared as a result of forensic testing. Go to News Source [...]

I am hopeful that these DNA screenings are utilized three-fold:
1. To bring to a final conclusion the innocence or guilt of a prisoner
2. That the results be cross-checked against the state, national and international DNA databases in an attempt to clarify if the accused had partaken in other assaults or other crimes and
3. If the original felon is exonerated via the DNA, that the TRUE perpetrator be located and brought to justice.

It is a travesty that so many innocent men have suffered incarceration through no guilt of their own, and family’s victims had no closure after all.

Now that DNA is a reliable tool, lets look over all past crimes that remain unsolved, as well as those of men who (even if passed away) still insisted on their innocence. Lets clear their names.

Thank goodness for DNA testing.
